Piñon

Welcome to the Piñon Family

You will find people here strive to be creative and kind, energetic and efficient. Everyone is empowered to make decisions that provide life and love, and we have learned how to integrate many simple procedures that make lives warmer and brighter. We also apply our talents and experience to the task of making your facility profitable. Good business is an essential part of the equation.

We have a name for this. We call it Culture Change. Why not let Piñon bring it to your facility.

A Legacy of Innovation

Piñon has been providing management and consulting services to owners, managers and developers of long-term care facilities in Colorado and New Mexico since 1979. Nationally recognized as leaders and innovators in the long-term care arena, Piñon delivers solutions proven to improve quality of life for residents, energize staff and management, and enhance financial returns for owners.

Piñon currently operates eleven Metro-Denver Skilled Nursing Facilities, and four outlying facilities. While our facilities offer varied designs, market niches, and specialized care and service programs, all of them provide a consistent approach to service and quality outcomes. Piñon has also successfully provided consultation and management in many “turn-around” projects requiring regulatory and/or fiscal management. We have helped design and build several “start-up” operations from the ground floor, eventually handing over successful operations to ownership groups who continue their own long-term facility management. We serve as consultants for fiscal and operations strategies and have assisted with State monitoring and receiverships in New Mexico and Colorado.

Culture Change

Piñon President Jeff Jerebker is deeply committed to Culture Change, a revitalizing force that renews facilities by empowering both staff and residents. Every day things that most of us take for granted have been denied to long-term care residents for years by impersonal, regimented environments. Culture Change brings humanity and life to long-term care by giving residents control of their lives and staff the freedom and motivation to accommodate their wishes.

As part of our on-going Culture Change efforts, our homes have established community meetings, neighborhood environments, 24-hour dining, enhanced bathing, career pathway and self-scheduling models, resident computer labs, and a Zen-like model environment for persons with mental illness and behavioral disorders in long-term care. In 2004, Piñon Management was hired by the New Mexico Cabinet Secretaries of Health and Long Term and Aging Services to provide consultation on Culture Change models and to assist in establishing a New Mexico Coalition for Culture Change. We are dedicated to this movement and feel it remains the only viable future for long-term care providers.
